Saving and restoring FRITZ!Box telephone books

The FRITZ!Box user interface allows you to save your telephone books. You can always use a backup to restore your telephone book, which means that you are protected from data loss. Telephone books can also be transferred from one FRITZ!Box to another, for example if you switch to a different FRITZ!Box model.

Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.
